Where Is The Handmaid's Tale Filmed?

You'd Be Pretty Surprised to Learn Where The Handmaid's Tale Is Filmed

Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale captures the fundamentalist society of Gilead as a picturesque place, which makes it all the more creepy since it's where women are brutally tormented. The Gilead in the show, filmed in Canada, is full of brick buildings and immaculate interior design, which looks as though it came straight from a charming New England catalog. Supposedly set in Massachusetts, The Handmaid's Tale is predominantly shot in Canada, which is ironically where Gilead's refugees find safety.

For the most part, season three has been filmed in Hamilton, a small town outside of Toronto. The many moments in Commander Waterford's are shot in a rustic red-brick townhouse there. During Offred's strolls, we see remnants of the St. James Baptist Church as well as glimpses of the Galt neighborhood in the town.
